This week, the third Quilts of Valor event is being held on Washington Island in the Sophie Studio, coordinated by Ellen Graf. Teams of coaches and rookies and individual quilters are creating quilts for military servicemembers touched by war. Again this year, there’s one Island “snowbird” team sewing a quilt at the same time in Arizona. Cutting and pressing started this morning and a few stars appeared this afternoon.
